It does, even though one of your paragraphs stopped abruptly, heh. The message is still clear. Thanks.

There was never before a mention of any limit on skill points. The first time they were mentioned at all was a few posts up, which I read as "numeric rating of how experienced a character is at some skill based on previous use" rather than the D&D style "pips available for arbitrary assignment" because of a statement by Leanthar earlier:

Skill point allocation sounds automatic the way I read it, though I can see how it could be something more like points made available that can only be assigned to those skills that have been used recently by the character, which might help prevent complaints about skill points going to skills the player didn't intend and therefore being "wasted." That's just my brain trying to fill in the blanks and I'm typing aloud for some reason. Carry on.
